Water Meter Reading

Wall Moisture Meter Reading-

At SERVPRO of Carrollton, a restoration company, we use a variety of tools and instruments to locate the moisture in a building and to monitor progress when we are drying it. 

One we use heavily is the "wall meter", moisture encounter, which sends out and receives back a signal gauging moisture content in materials.

The reading on the drywall wall pictured shows the gauge meter to be buried past the scale face.  This is a very damp wall which needs dried out.

The 1" hole was drilled into through the drywall into the wall cavity.  This allows air from the drying equipment to get into and up the back side of the wall cavity as well as on the front side.

This picture came from a water extraction job In Far North Dallas, Texas.

The wall was successfully dried out and the replacement trim will cover the 1" hole.  One can see the trim line just below the meter.

After an extraction, our goal is to make your home or business restored "Like it never even happened".
